Wilburn Brothers - Graveyard Shift Lyrics

Graveyard shift works all night long it works from sunset till early dawn

The work is hard but your back is strong graveyard shift works all night long



While everybody else is a snoozin' away I got a night job and I sleep in the day

It wouldn't be so bad if they paid me good

But they put me at the bottom of the brotherhood

Graveyard shift works...



Got a newly wed wife that I never get to see

By the time I get home it's time for her to be

Gettin' to work down at the A and P at the rake we're goin' we'll never be three

Graveyard shift works...



I'm a God fearin' man just as plain as I can be

A black cup of coffee is good enough for me

And it takes about a gallon to give me the lift

That I need to get me through on the graveyard shift

Graveyard shift works...
